Currently, recentf saves the recentf list only when emacs exits. Sometimes,
when emacs crashes I lose recently opened files from the list, because
the list is not saved periodically.

Emacs should save the list every 10 minutes or so=C2=A0when the user is idl=
e, so
the recentf list is preserved even if there is a crash.

I have the following code in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el:


(defun delayed-recentf-save-list ()
  "Save recent files list when Emacs is idle."
  (run-with-idle-timer 10 nil 'repeat-recentf-save-list))

(defun repeat-recentf-save-list ()
  "Save recent files list when it was changed and Emacs is idle."
  (unless (equal recentf-saved-list recentf-list)
	(recentf-save-list)
	(setq recentf-saved-list recentf-list))
  (run-at-time 120 nil 'delayed-recentf-save-list))

(delayed-recentf-save-list)

It saves periodically (every 2 minutes), but only when the list has changed, and it waits until Emacs is idle for 10 seconds.

Yes, that would be useful.

I like the semantics of `bookmark-save-flag'.  Perhaps we could
implement something more similar to that for recentf.

Best regards,
